1 Remember how Gessen reacted according to an account linked in my previous thread to a Tryzub p, Ukraine’s national symbol? Here Russians similarly rationalise their aversion to the visibility of Ukraine. There is always a good reason why they cannot tolerate “seeing” Ukraine

2 Unless it is an Ukraine reduced to a Russophone colony. The visions of that differ slightly now. The liberals want a Russophone colony in which Ukrainian identity is despised as nationalism. That this is only achievable by genocide at some point should be noted.

3 The more straightforward imperialists want to genocide immediately. But they all tailor their messages via personal interaction as here or print media to toxify Ukraine appropriately to a given audience.

4 Here for example Ragozin manipulatively stigmatises Ukrainian traditional embroidery as Fascist and relies on a well established conditioned reflex Regarding the OUN. This is not dissimilar to stigmatising a Ukrainian national symbol as being linked to harassment.

5 see this thread or as in the clip above gaslighting to validate their Russian aversion to protests supporting Ukraine, to the very visibility of things Ukrainian had roots in anything other than the xenophobia driving an ongoing genocide of Ukraine.threadreaderapp.com/thread/1752211…
